Contact Lenses
Many ask if contact lenses
are safe. Dp they irritate the
eyes? Is there any great objec
tion to their
use? Contact
lenses are be
ing used with
satisfaction by
thousa n d s of
persons. Natu
rally, the new
lenses are used
by actors and
act resses, by
some athletes,
Dr Alvarez
and by many women who, at a
dance, do cot want to wear
thick and unpleasant - looking
lenses. Some people can adjust
to the use of the contact lenses
more easily than others do, and
can wear them for a longer in
terval. Naturally, the little
lenses cost more than ordinary
glasses, and they have to be spe
cially fitted by an expert. The
person who wears them must
learn to put tehm on 'and take
them off. He must learn, also,
not to drop them on the floor!
Recently, contact lenses have
been designed with little open
ings on the edges so that the
tears can circulate under the
lens. This sounds like a very
good idea.
A Person Who Cannot
Wear Denlures
I recently saw a middle-aged
woman who has recently lost
60 pounds in weight, and in
whom no signs of disease can
be found. A few months ago she
was perfectly well except for
much over-weight, and then all
of her remaining teeth were ex
tracted and replaced by den
tures. Being over - sensitive in
her mouth, and with a tendency
to gag easily, she found it very
hard to get accustomed to the
dentures, and much of the time
she carries them in her purse.
I have known many an ema
ciated woman of this type who
pulled out of her bag for me to
see four expensive sets of den
tures which she had had made
one after the other with the
hope of getting one that wouldn't
bother her.
Finally, she had come to see
that the fault was not with the
dentures; it was with her over
sensitive mouth. She may tell
me that she never could brush
her back teeth without gagging,
and she has never been able to
stand bifocal glasses, even for
one day. Perhaps, also, she can
not stand air-conditioned rooms,
or a trace of chlorine in the
city water. After having seen
hundreds of such women, I have
learned to recognize the type be
fore their teeth are removed, and
then I beg them to get by as
long as they can with what teeth
they have left.
Women of this type are often
"salt of the earth" but, because
of their great sensitiveness,
many stimuli even a bright
light can cause 'them to suffer.
In the morning, on waking, they
have to adjust their eyes slowly;
first, to electric light and later
to daylight. In a restaurant the
woman cannot sit at one table
j because there is too much' clat
tering of dishes, at another table
because it is too near the orches
tra. She cannot sit at another table
because there she gets distress
ing odors from the kitchen; at
another table because there she
hears much loud talk from
noisy people near by, and at
another table because there she
feels a draft. The woman's hus
band may not be bothered by
any of these things but they
"drive her 'nearly crazy."
Perhaps when a storm is com
ing 100 miles away her rheuma
tism flares up, or she gets a
headache or a stomach ache, or
her nerves get on edge. One tab
let of aspirin may make her
ill, with her skin broken out.
A tablet of morphine may make
her feel like climbing the walls
like a crazed cat. She may be
so conscious of her over-sensitive
bowel that every so often she
will have to stop what she is
doing and take an enema.
When such a woman's den
tures hurt her, someone may
blame it on allergy, but the
dentist can pretty well rule
this out by showing that any one
of several materials left in
the lining of her mouth will
quickly cause distress. Also, if
the trouble were allergic in na
ture, the woman could probably
! wear her dentures for a day or
jtwo before the gums would get
sore, unroriunateiy, i Know oi
no way to desensitize these peo
ple; usually they have to suffer
Interest in Mt. Shasta
Viewability Increases
Mount Shasta, Calif. (HI The
discussion over the "viewability"
of Mt. Shasta warmed up this
week as historians dug up old
records.
George Schrader, secretary of
the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl and
former president of the Siski
you County Historical society,
told of a survey made by helio
graph in 1875.
Schrader said reflections from
the instrument, carried to the top
of the 14,162 foot peak by a
Coast and Geodetic Survey crew,
were picked up on St. Helena
to some extent all their days.
Many Questions
I Cannot Answer
I regret that I cannot answer
many of the letters that come to
me. I wish I could help you good
people, but first, there aren't
enough hours in the day to read
all the letters, There might be
if they were snort, but some are
20 or 30 or 40 pages long! Nat
urally, I cannot delegate the
answering of these letters to
secretaries. Often, to write a
good answer to a long letter
would take more wisdom and
knowledge than I have. Often a
question is practically unanswer
able, like, "What can I do for
asthma, or catarrh?" There are
probably 50 caBses for asthma,
and I am not sure what a per
son means by catarrh. Another
person writes, "What can I do
for my eczema?" Again, there
may be 50 causes for eczema.
Many people write, saying they
have been to several large uni
versity centers where, after care
ful study, no diagnosis could be
made. Now they want . me to
make it! Obviously, I must not
try.
A secretary harfded me a let
ter from . someone who says,
"Tell me all the"possible causes
for my having had a poor result
after my hysterectomy! It
would take me several hours to
write an article that would cover
this subject adequately. My days
are already terribly full, from
7 in the morning to 10 at night,
seven days a week, and so
I cannot promise to answer long
letters, and especially those writ
ten in barely legible handwrit
ing, and full of questions very
difficult to answer.
Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers
will understand that it would be
impossible for him to answer re
quests for information or to
attempt to diagnose by mail.
(Released by The Register and
Tribune Syndicate. 1957
192 airline miles to the south
west. The feat was acclaimed at
that time as the "longest known
visual observation ever made
for survey purposes." Schrader
said he did not know whether
the record still stands.
Eric Allen Jr., managing edi
tor of the Medford Mail Tribune,
recalled that "a long time ago"
Boy Scouts climbed Mt. Hood
and Mt Shasta and set off flares
or fireworks at night. Each could
see the other's signals, Allen
said.
Tallest Peak
Mt. Hood, east of Portland, is
11.245 feet high and is Oregon's
tallest peak. It is more than 300
airline miles from Mt. Shasta.
Joe Sauer of Redding said he
has seen Mt. Shasta from the
top of Mt. Tamalpais in the San
Francisco Bay area.
Not everyone, however, ' ac
cepts all the claims being made.
Most people living near Mt.
Shasta say that on a clear day,
the Pacific ocean is visible from
the peak's summit. But Ike Eic
horn, former Dunsmuir resident
who now lives in Redding, says
this is not true. Eichorn, a recog
nized authority on the mountain.
says engineers have proved this
is impossible because of the
Coast range which is in between.
But Chap Wentworth, Duns
muir publisher, insists that Mt.
Shasta offers "the longest view
in America and possibly the en
tire world." He said that be
cause of the absence of smog,
and because the Sacramento val
ley is long, with no obstructions
in between, the mountain can be
seen easily on a clear day from
near Arbuckle, more than 170
airline miles away.
library Site Picked
In Illinois Valley
Cave Junction The new Illi
nois Valley branch library will
be located on the south side of
Palmer st., about 250 feet west
of the Redwood Highway in
Cave Junction.
A 195 by 142 feet site has been
purchased from Paul Palmer of
Sherman Oaks, Calif. Work on
the building is expected to begin
soon.
County voters this year ap
proved a, $30,000 appropriation
for the purchase of a site and
construction of .an additional
county library. Members of the
library board inspected several
possible locations last month and
later decided on the Palmer
property.
